Does any one know where to sell a huge sports card collection besides eBay and Beckett?
I am looking for somewhere to sell my sports card collection for a resonable price but willing to take way below book value for it any Ideas would be great its got autos,game used, refractors,numbered, vintage, graded probally around 20,000 plus cards. Huge names Rookies and stars.
Do you have any local Baseball Card stores? If you live any where near a big city I’m sure they have some around. What you can do is sell to them, or find out if there are any baseball card shows coming to the area. You can sell there.

Using Ophthalmic Equipment to Grow Your Ophthalmic Practice
Running a successful optometry practice, like any medical practice, is a challenge. Not only are you faced with a myriad of patients and diagnoses, but you are also faced with a constantly changing landscape of ophthalmic equipment, instrumentation and technology. If you invested in every piece of new ophthalmic equipment on the market you would doubtless run your practice into bankruptcy so how do you choose what to implement and what to wait on? How do you grow your practice thoughtfully and purposefully? How do you learn which kind of ophthalmic technology will work best for you?
Let’s start with the basics of running a practice. If you are looking at setup costs you need to make sure that you have certain pieces of ophthalmic equipment and specific diagnostic equipment to help you practice effectively. This includes items like ophthalmoscopes, retinoscopes, transilluminators, slit lamps and basic acuity and perimetry testing. You’ll also need simple pre-test equipment like color tests, distance eye chart, vision testers and occluders. The choices and sheer volume of equipment can make selection daunting.
Many companies out there will encourage you to buy used equipment which offers a cheaper price, and comes with fewer features. Although this may be tempting, think through your decision carefully. In many instances, using technology to your advantage can offer long term savings. For instance, if you are looking at any automated ophthalmic equipment, like an auto refractor for example, making the investment in a machine that can automatically offer precision refractive data in a fraction of the time could be a very smart. If you can find ways to use technology to make your practice run more efficiently, you will garner a strong reputation as an optometrist, ophthalmologist or optician who is technology savvy and who runs on time.
Technology today can also help you diagnose more accurately and prescribe better and more effective lenses for glasses or contact lenses for daily use. A corneal topographer, for instance, uses technology to map the surface of the eye to help ophthalmic professionals more accurately understand the state of a patient’s cornea and also takes other measurements that can help to fit contact lenses more effectively. This type of ophthalmic equipment is also incredibly important if you are recommending a patient for any kind of refractive surgery. Digital imaging is also very useful in properly diagnosing patient conditions. Although many felt that digital imaging could not take the place of manual ophthalmic diagnostic testing, it has now been shown that it is very accurate and can offer high resolution images of the retina and detailed anterior surface imaging.
Another reason to look for advanced ophthalmic equipment is to increase patient comfort. No one enjoys getting tested for glaucoma. The puff of air to test intra-ocular pressure with a traditional tonometer can be stressful and uncomfortable so why not invest in the advanced non contact tonometer that can conduct this test with a minimal amount of air pressure? This commitment to investing in technology to increase a patient’s feeling of well being can serve you well in repeat patients and in referrals to friends and family. Using advanced technology that makes diagnosis both efficient and comfortable will help your grow your practice into the future.
A word to the wise, if you move forward with cutting edge technology and effective ophthalmic equipment you do need to commit to maintaining that equipment so that it will last into the future. With every piece of equipment you buy, you should ensure that you follow any maintenance schedules and that you have appropriate dust covers and cleansers on hand. You need to make sure you have the correct ophthalmic bulbs, the right computers and even the right printer paper to ensure correct use and long life of all of your ophthalmic instruments.
The goal with all of your ophthalmic equipment and ophthalmic instruments should be to use technology to be a better care giver. If you can make your diagnosis faster and more comfortable, you will grow your practice. If you use technology effectively so that you can see more patients then you will also see growth. If you combine effective ophthalmic equipment with a comfortable and competent attitude, staff and atmosphere you will watch your ophthalmic practice grow and become more profitable.

Would like some advise on purchasing a telescope?
Hello Team,
As long as I can remember I wanted to purchase a Telescope.
Now that I finally got the cash I am confused as to what to buy. I know that there exist a large number of telescopes on the market and of different type: Refractor, Newtonian, Cassegrain, and Schmidt Cassegrain.
This is what I am basically looking for:
1.Between $1,500.00 and $2,500.00.
2.Must find celestial bodies’ auto-magically by entering name of celestial body and/or coordinates.
3.It should also work manually.
4.I should be able to connect it to a PC (Laptop/Desktop).
5.I should be able to connect a camera.
I don’t know what other feature I should look for.
I plan to take the Telescope to the Caribbean and have some serious fun with it.
Please help me in selecting a good choice.
Thank you in advanced.
Typically when someone gives me these specifications for a telescope I advise them to get a Meade or Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain with 8″ to 10″ of aperture.
But those telescopes can be difficult to travel with (people do though). In all honesty, the Caribbean is humid and often overcast and is generally a poor location to view from, with the exception of total solar eclipses. The humid sea air will quickly rust what it can and could deposite damaging residue on a telescope so I don’t recommend you take a $1500-$2500 telescope to that location.
But for a telescope in general I do recommend one of the Meade or Celestron Schmidt Cassegrains. You can see the models which may be in your price range at
